Item Description
Album is 8.5x10.5x2.75" with elaborate brass spring-loaded closure mechanism on right side. Spine and reverse cover are gorgeous multi-color velvet. Pages are 1/16" thick stiff board all with gold color edges. Twelve sheets with floral pattern hold complete amount of 24 photos. Most photos are c. 1898 and most are cabinet photos, but a few are perhaps closer to WWI and photographic paper instead of a card. Two photos have imprint of "Fox And Deputy, Manila, P.I." One of these is heavily creased, the other is VF. Photos are largely extremely fine or better. The celluloid cover is superb. There are textured pale blue corner accents, raised accents around his photo, beautiful color flags and all with high gloss. Maker's name on narrow inside edge of front cover reads: "The Rembrandt Eng. Co. Phila." Only example we've seen. A gorgeous show-stopper in the TR as Rough Rider collecting field. Superb N. Mint condition. Rare. See TR and black character Asa Spades original art in our Comic Character Art section.
